oooh someone read it already! did it make you laugh???

re: the baseball cap -- i thought there might be some potential humour in her thinking of him as a cowboy, but actually his clothes etc. giving the reader the impression of your basic jeans-and-belt-buckle redneck.

wanted to start with him stepping down from his truck/lorry, and the first thing she sees is his boots, which makes her think of cowboys, but it's his keys that jingle instead of spurs, and he's got a baseball cap. but i couldn't work all that in, and i like my current first line too much.

is there something other than keys that could jingle? preferably something that'd poke fun at the rednick stereotype?

should i maybe not call him 'the cowboy'?

i dont know much about rednecks so i dont know about jingling Maybe pocket change?? Thats not really redneck.

Hmm.. well, the cowboy thing does confuse one if hes not really a cowboy. The baseball cap doesnt make me think redneck either. I think of baseball cap as either jock or preppy kind of. You could say Trucker hat , that has redneck stamped all over it.

Yes it did make me laugh though.

maybe part of my problem though is ive never been to england let alone chelsea or lond or anything. Didnt know they had rednecks and cowboys over there. hehe.

Bein' as I'm from Tennessee and dated a redneck and mechanic more than once I feel compelled to post. Redneck mechanics, or at least the ones I've known, will wear a baseball cap while wurkin' on cars. The caps are covered in grease, motor oil, and grime... and smell awful. I got the whole reference to a 'good-ol-boy'. Part of the reason they wear a cap... to keep their heads clean... who said rednecks weren't smart? Faces smudged in black and fingers black as coal, but by gawd their head is (relatively) clean.

As for the jingle? A key chain, filled with keys to every car he's ever owned (and being a redneck and a mechanic that would be quite a few), some sentimental value perhaps? Anyway, sounds about right. Then there's the virtual log chain that attaches the gigantic wallet in his hip pocket to his belt loop, the circle from a can of skoal or copenhagen in the other.

That was great. Maybe you could find a way to add some more on and submit it - quite an amusing little story.
